villain playing 36/19/6.7 3bet over 53 hands
no reads on pre or post

i struggle here as to whether or not to cbet. we have 2 overs plus gutter, which seems like it should be a cbet, but i feel it is tough to fold out Jx/Tx.

right now i am really far off on cbetting and not sure in which situations i should barrel and what not.

Hi

This is definitely a cbet here. You should try mapping out villain's PF calling range, and see what hands you can actually get to fold out on the Flop. He doesn't only have TX/JX hands here right? Surely he's gonna have some air hands

villain will have tons of air hands here. it is just that we beat those air hands.

that is where i am struggling. since we beat his air hands, i feel it is best to check back. but that is a flaw in my logic i suppose since there are lots of turn cards that suck for us.

yes i agree with your post. This is a very wet board and I think it's good to just fold out some of his equity share here

Showing down with Ace high is generally better on dry, paired flops where the relative hand strength of Ace high goes up significantly. And when i do check Ace highs on such wet boards, it's usually with the intention of giving up.

here our hand isn't exactly a monster or a strong draw, but we do have some decent equity and I do think it plays better with a bet.
